Hi Yunshui,
I see that you have described yourself as "a bookseller with some experience of antiquities buying", and that you are interested in Japanese history. I collect atlases, particularly those printed between 1820 and 1920. I don't mind what language they are in, and I find historical atlases particularly interesting. So if you ever have an atlas to sell, I hope you will let me know. I have only one Japanese historical atlas, I can't tell you its title as I don't read Japanese, but it has a crimson velvet cover, lives in a ginger-coloured case, and its preface is dated 1956-08-10. So I would be particularly interested in any other Japanese (or Korean, or maybe Chinese) historical atlases that you happen to have for sale. Maproom ( talk) 17:04, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
This editor is now engaged in POINTy behaviour - he is going through a list of all articles I created to find any that violate OPENPARA (i.e. ones I created years and years ago and haven't been fixed yet) and removing the information as opposed to relocating it, as would be sensible. I fear he is becoming disruptive, and I would appreciate you having another quick word with them. Thanks, Giant Snowman 20:33, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi Yunshui,
And thanks for your message about The Greeks. The page is here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=The_Greeks_(book)&action=submit
(Whatever that is - I'm new to this.)
Thought it might be good to at least be on the same page before discussing.
Thanks again,

. Save the page.[[H. D. F. Kitto]]
. The spelling needs to be precisely the same as the article title: [[HDF. Kitto]]
, for example, won't work.
Thanks again Yunshui. Sorry for the slow reply - it's taken me half a day to find you again, or find a way of contacting you. (I don't find the site easy to navigate.)
As for notablity, I think it is "generally agreed" that The Greeks is notable. Googling around will tell you that, in addition to the review excerpts on the back cover which I quoted. Also author HDF Kitto has his own Wikipedia page in which The Greeks is mentioned as his main work.
However I take your point about Wikipedia needing citable external sources. Unhappily there aren't any of these that I can find online, because the book predates the Internet by so many years. (I went back 10 pages in Google.)
So we have a book that nearly everyone who's read it agrees is a classic, which has been used as a university text for six decades, and which was very well-reviewed in 1951 - but no documentary way of proving any of this. What next?
I adopted your suggestion of pasting in the basic details template, thanks.
I had already linked the article to HDF Kitto - I can click on that & go to the Kitto page. Can you not? (I coded it in a way I didn't need to use the redundant full stops in the Kitto page title.)
Thanks for fixing the numbering.
I know what a hatnote is, but don't know how to format one. Where can I find that info?
I read the hatnote page, but I'm afraid I just don't comprehend it at all. Is there a simple template I can drop in? (I know the hatnote page is full of templates, but the instructions on how to use them don't make sense to me.)
Thanks again for your constructive help, Yunshui.

- I'll add it to the page for you in a moment.Thanks again Yunshui - and also Tokyogirl (yes, she is good) in case she is reading this.
More questions, sorry:
1. I saved a draft but this generated an edit conflict - perhaps because you or Tokyogirl were doing your edits at the same time. Is this a problem? The main thing I'd changed was adding the box with all the basic details of the book in it. (I found the template.) That's appeared. It even seems to be in the right spot (over to the right). Did it appear there automatically, or did one of you put it there?
2. I can't see a hatnote yet.
3. I've got a bunch of covers (about 10) of various editions of the book. How many should I put in, & is there a simple way to do it? (Don't enjoy combing through manuals for hours looking for the right bit of code - I just don't have that sort of time available.)
4. So anything further I want to add, I add to the latest version as completed by Tokyogirl, yes?
5. At what point does the thing go live?
Thanks again,
Fred Biggin ( talk) 09:12, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
Hi Yunshui,
Thanks for the above.
The hatnote wasn't there when I wrote, but I can see it now.
I went thru the upload procedure, but WP won't let me upload a photo because I haven't been a member long enough. However I can ask someone else to do it - tho I'm not clear on how...?
Thanks again,
Fred Biggin ( talk) 11:09, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

Do you want me to send you a cover (or three) - and if so how?
Or will you find them yourself?
Fred Biggin ( talk) 14:10, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
Thanks Yunshui - that looks very good now.
And thanks for guiding me thru the process (to say nothing of doing most of the work).
The extract from the book was deleted. Are excerpts against WP policy?
It's a pity I can't expand the page a bit, but there's just so little source material on the book.
Look forward to doing the next one.

I see that you failed to unblock User:Frank20041 over concerns raised in a sockpuppet investigation. Let me note as the editor who raised those concerns that the concern was that he was a sockpuppet of User:Voidz, and Voidz was found in that investigation not to have been involved in the puppetry that was being investigated. So I find it hard to say that that investigation should be used against him. Might I request that you reconsider his request for unblock? -- Nat Gertler ( talk) 14:45, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi Yunshui! I'm turning here for some help with an AfD. I'm kind of frustrated right now because I'm having some trouble with a newer editor. The AfD in question is Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Arch Enemy Entertainment and what's essentially going on is this:
The article has a handful of sources, but nothing that shows a depth of coverage or that any of their products are so overwhelmingly notable that they'd really show that they're particularly notable. They're "just" a comic production company, so they're less likely to gain notice than if they were a publisher. Production companies are the "man behind the curtain" for the most part. In any case, I ended up removing a lot and I repeat a LOT of sources that were primary and a lot of claims that didn't entirely pertain to the actual company. (Things such as this notable person worked for the company, or that that guy went on to work for Dexter, or they were mentioned in this non-mainstream documentary.) I've tried to explain why the sources would be unusable and one source in particular happens to be USA Today. The thing is that USA Today is publishing one of their comics on their website, which makes it primary. I've tried to explain that and they just don't seem to understand. The other issue (which wasn't really that big of an issue to begin with) is that the editor on the AfD is also an intern for the company. I tried explaining why COI and working for the company would leave them inclined to write in a promotional manner or include puffery about the company and its workers, but she took exception to that. I'm just getting frustrated and could use some good third parties to help talk things out. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 03:59, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Hey- can you take a look at User:Tokyogirl79/Sunny (writer) and tell me if you think this passes WP:AUTHOR?

Hi,
I wanted to get in touch regarding the deletion of Chicken Cock Whiskey. It was deleted for reason G12, citing an article on MarketWatch.com; however, that article is simply the posting of a press release written by me.

I'm sorry to make you do something you didn't like. I'm sure SAW was a good Wikipedian before he got blocked. Honestly, if he had kept uploading photos, and not been so abusive as I remarked on ANI, I wouldn't have minded. I know I come off as a bit of a pompous douche sometimes when I think I know more than other people, but frankly I'm fine working with such people as long as they don't try to OWN the articles. By the end, it kind of reminded me of that one user whose abuses were what prompted my first interaction with you.
(By the way, I'm fine with people knowing what my past account was, just not with other people bragging about figuring it out and claiming that I am some block-evading sockpuppet who was rejected by the Wikipedia community for being disruptive.)

I'm more than a little concerned about this editor. I've spent far too much time explaining and illustrating why his edits infringe the copyright/advertising policies, but he just doesn't accept that he is doing anything wrong. As you know, I resorted reluctantly to a block, but it's quite clear that he views that as a personal attack by me, all the worse because I apparently don't understand the policies myself. He's not showing GF even when blocked, and I'm concerned about what will happen when the block expires if the pattern continues. I'm reluctant to keep ratcheting up the blocks, so I'd welcome any thoughts on this Jimfbleak - talk to me? 10:01, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

After looking at the redirect target I realize the incident is not widely covered and part of a major ongoing dispute. One incident in hundreds. I removed the section because it was given undue weight and nothing special appeared to have occurred in this one incident. I think the redirect title is somewhat controversial. 'Chinese incursion into India'. For starters it's not grammatically correct. I think it should be seriously considered for deletion and if someone does want to make Chinese incursions into India as a general redirect, they can do so, but to make a unlikely typo of non-existent redirect or one that points to a very unspecific incursion seems odd to me. Would be curious as to your thoughts; not trying to dispute your decision, I came to the same one but upon further study think this is more suitable. Mkdw talk 08:42, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Morning! I need your advice (again) please. I'm worried I could get blocked for edit warring on Poodle and I'm not sure if I've followed the correct procedure and what to do now. The article had been protected in mid-March after a series of edits then an editor seemed to come along and after a confusing series of edits returned it to an older version. I tried asking for advice on the Dogs Project talk page but didn't get any response (it's not especially active). So after three weeks, I reverted the article back to what seemed to be the stable version and left a note on the talk page. Lo and behold within a couple of days an IP came along and put all the pet pics back in and removed referenced material making it the same as it was before. I have reverted again and left a note on their talk page but I think it's shortly going to be changed again.....what should I do? SagaciousPhil - Chat 07:55, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

08:57, 2 May 2013 (UTC)Hello, Yunshui. You deleted a very raw article I had in rough draft format, not prepared for submission. I feel the article was deleted prematurely. Similar articles exist for similar publications, such as Tae Kwon Do Times and Black Belt. Is this something I should expect to occur when I have an article in rough draft form without any citations yet whatsoever? I believe that creating the rough draft on Wikipedia itself allows me to edit the article from anywhere I have access to a computer, i.e. work, not just my laptop at home. If I must create the article in another manner, I'm happy to do so. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mike.e.swope ( talk • contribs) 02:58, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

I'm kind of torn over an article right now. Long story short, in 2012 Victoria Foyt self-published a book that was seen as racist and got a ton of coverage over the internet backlash. This was initially covered in its entirety in her article, but has since been spun off into its own article. I'm really unsure whether or not this really needs its own article since it really only received coverage for the controversy- which is summed up already in Foyt's article. The book didn't really gain any reviews in reliable sources and the award it won isn't really notable at all per Wikipedia's guidelines. I remember people sort of debating this somewhere and it was seen as a fairly dubious award, enough to where it wouldn't even contribute a little notability. So... do you think this should be redirected back to the author's page? That's what I'm leaning towards, although I wouldn't entirely mind it having its own article so the plot section could be fleshed out. My other big concern would be editing in either extreme. The original version of the article looked to be a little pro-Foyt and was filled with fan gush and OR, but then I'm also afraid of vandalism since Foyt's article was pretty beseiged by every idiot with a keyboard that thought they were funny for calling her racist. I know that neither is really a reason to delete/redirect an article in the first place, but it's something that might sway people one way or the other. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 08:36, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi Yunshui,
I see that you have described yourself as "a bookseller with some experience of antiquities buying", and that you are interested in Japanese history. I collect atlases, particularly those printed between 1820 and 1920. I don't mind what language they are in, and I find historical atlases particularly interesting. So if you ever have an atlas to sell, I hope you will let me know. I have only one Japanese historical atlas, I can't tell you its title as I don't read Japanese, but it has a crimson velvet cover, lives in a ginger-coloured case, and its preface is dated 1956-08-10. So I would be particularly interested in any other Japanese (or Korean, or maybe Chinese) historical atlases that you happen to have for sale. Maproom ( talk) 17:04, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks again Yunshui. Sorry for the slow reply - it's taken me half a day to find you again, or find a way of contacting you. (I don't find the site easy to navigate.)
As for notablity, I think it is "generally agreed" that The Greeks is notable. Googling around will tell you that, in addition to the review excerpts on the back cover which I quoted. Also author HDF Kitto has his own Wikipedia page in which The Greeks is mentioned as his main work.
However I take your point about Wikipedia needing citable external sources. Unhappily there aren't any of these that I can find online, because the book predates the Internet by so many years. (I went back 10 pages in Google.)
So we have a book that nearly everyone who's read it agrees is a classic, which has been used as a university text for six decades, and which was very well-reviewed in 1951 - but no documentary way of proving any of this. What next?
I adopted your suggestion of pasting in the basic details template, thanks.
I had already linked the article to HDF Kitto - I can click on that & go to the Kitto page. Can you not? (I coded it in a way I didn't need to use the redundant full stops in the Kitto page title.)
Thanks for fixing the numbering.
I know what a hatnote is, but don't know how to format one. Where can I find that info?
I read the hatnote page, but I'm afraid I just don't comprehend it at all. Is there a simple template I can drop in? (I know the hatnote page is full of templates, but the instructions on how to use them don't make sense to me.)
Thanks again for your constructive help, Yunshui.

- I'll add it to the page for you in a moment.Thanks again Yunshui - and also Tokyogirl (yes, she is good) in case she is reading this.
More questions, sorry:
1. I saved a draft but this generated an edit conflict - perhaps because you or Tokyogirl were doing your edits at the same time. Is this a problem? The main thing I'd changed was adding the box with all the basic details of the book in it. (I found the template.) That's appeared. It even seems to be in the right spot (over to the right). Did it appear there automatically, or did one of you put it there?
2. I can't see a hatnote yet.
3. I've got a bunch of covers (about 10) of various editions of the book. How many should I put in, & is there a simple way to do it? (Don't enjoy combing through manuals for hours looking for the right bit of code - I just don't have that sort of time available.)
4. So anything further I want to add, I add to the latest version as completed by Tokyogirl, yes?
5. At what point does the thing go live?
Thanks again,

Hi Yunshui,
Thanks for the above.
The hatnote wasn't there when I wrote, but I can see it now.
I went thru the upload procedure, but WP won't let me upload a photo because I haven't been a member long enough. However I can ask someone else to do it - tho I'm not clear on how...?
Thanks again,

Do you want me to send you a cover (or three) - and if so how?
Or will you find them yourself?
Fred Biggin ( talk) 14:10, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
Thanks Yunshui - that looks very good now.
And thanks for guiding me thru the process (to say nothing of doing most of the work).
The extract from the book was deleted. Are excerpts against WP policy?
It's a pity I can't expand the page a bit, but there's just so little source material on the book.
Look forward to doing the next one.
All the best,

I see that you failed to unblock User:Frank20041 over concerns raised in a sockpuppet investigation. Let me note as the editor who raised those concerns that the concern was that he was a sockpuppet of User:Voidz, and Voidz was found in that investigation not to have been involved in the puppetry that was being investigated. So I find it hard to say that that investigation should be used against him. Might I request that you reconsider his request for unblock? -- Nat Gertler ( talk) 14:45, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi Yunshui! I'm turning here for some help with an AfD. I'm kind of frustrated right now because I'm having some trouble with a newer editor. The AfD in question is Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Arch Enemy Entertainment and what's essentially going on is this:
The article has a handful of sources, but nothing that shows a depth of coverage or that any of their products are so overwhelmingly notable that they'd really show that they're particularly notable. They're "just" a comic production company, so they're less likely to gain notice than if they were a publisher. Production companies are the "man behind the curtain" for the most part. In any case, I ended up removing a lot and I repeat a LOT of sources that were primary and a lot of claims that didn't entirely pertain to the actual company. (Things such as this notable person worked for the company, or that that guy went on to work for Dexter, or they were mentioned in this non-mainstream documentary.) I've tried to explain why the sources would be unusable and one source in particular happens to be USA Today. The thing is that USA Today is publishing one of their comics on their website, which makes it primary. I've tried to explain that and they just don't seem to understand. The other issue (which wasn't really that big of an issue to begin with) is that the editor on the AfD is also an intern for the company. I tried explaining why COI and working for the company would leave them inclined to write in a promotional manner or include puffery about the company and its workers, but she took exception to that. I'm just getting frustrated and could use some good third parties to help talk things out. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 03:59, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi,
I wanted to get in touch regarding the deletion of Chicken Cock Whiskey. It was deleted for reason G12, citing an article on MarketWatch.com; however, that article is simply the posting of a press release written by me.

I'm sorry to make you do something you didn't like. I'm sure SAW was a good Wikipedian before he got blocked. Honestly, if he had kept uploading photos, and not been so abusive as I remarked on ANI, I wouldn't have minded. I know I come off as a bit of a pompous douche sometimes when I think I know more than other people, but frankly I'm fine working with such people as long as they don't try to OWN the articles. By the end, it kind of reminded me of that one user whose abuses were what prompted my first interaction with you.
(By the way, I'm fine with people knowing what my past account was, just not with other people bragging about figuring it out and claiming that I am some block-evading sockpuppet who was rejected by the Wikipedia community for being disruptive.)

I'm more than a little concerned about this editor. I've spent far too much time explaining and illustrating why his edits infringe the copyright/advertising policies, but he just doesn't accept that he is doing anything wrong. As you know, I resorted reluctantly to a block, but it's quite clear that he views that as a personal attack by me, all the worse because I apparently don't understand the policies myself. He's not showing GF even when blocked, and I'm concerned about what will happen when the block expires if the pattern continues.

After looking at the redirect target I realize the incident is not widely covered and part of a major ongoing dispute. One incident in hundreds. I removed the section because it was given undue weight and nothing special appeared to have occurred in this one incident. I think the redirect title is somewhat controversial. 'Chinese incursion into India'. For starters it's not grammatically correct. I think it should be seriously considered for deletion and if someone does want to make Chinese incursions into India as a general redirect, they can do so, but to make a unlikely typo of non-existent redirect or one that points to a very unspecific incursion seems odd to me. Would be curious as to your thoughts; not trying to dispute your decision, I came to the same one but upon further study think this is more suitable. Mkdw talk 08:42, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Morning! I need your advice (again) please. I'm worried I could get blocked for edit warring on Poodle and I'm not sure if I've followed the correct procedure and what to do now. The article had been protected in mid-March after a series of edits then an editor seemed to come along and after a confusing series of edits returned it to an older version. I tried asking for advice on the Dogs Project talk page but didn't get any response (it's not especially active). So after three weeks, I reverted the article back to what seemed to be the stable version and left a note on the talk page. Lo and behold within a couple of days an IP came along and put all the pet pics back in and removed referenced material making it the same as it was before. I have reverted again and left a note on their talk page but I think it's shortly going to be changed again.....what should I do? SagaciousPhil - Chat 07:55, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

08:57, 2 May 2013 (UTC)Hello, Yunshui. You deleted a very raw article I had in rough draft format, not prepared for submission. I feel the article was deleted prematurely. Similar articles exist for similar publications, such as Tae Kwon Do Times and Black Belt. Is this something I should expect to occur when I have an article in rough draft form without any citations yet whatsoever? I believe that creating the rough draft on Wikipedia itself allows me to edit the article from anywhere I have access to a computer, i.e. work, not just my laptop at home. If I must create the article in another manner, I'm happy to do so. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mike.e.swope ( talk • contribs) 02:58, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

I'm kind of torn over an article right now. Long story short, in 2012 Victoria Foyt self-published a book that was seen as racist and got a ton of coverage over the internet backlash. This was initially covered in its entirety in her article, but has since been spun off into its own article. I'm really unsure whether or not this really needs its own article since it really only received coverage for the controversy- which is summed up already in Foyt's article. The book didn't really gain any reviews in reliable sources and the award it won isn't really notable at all per Wikipedia's guidelines. I remember people sort of debating this somewhere and it was seen as a fairly dubious award, enough to where it wouldn't even contribute a little notability. So... do you think this should be redirected back to the author's page? That's what I'm leaning towards, although I wouldn't entirely mind it having its own article so the plot section could be fleshed out. My other big concern would be editing in either extreme. The original version of the article looked to be a little pro-Foyt and was filled with fan gush and OR, but then I'm also afraid of vandalism since Foyt's article was pretty beseiged by every idiot with a keyboard that thought they were funny for calling her racist. I know that neither is really a reason to delete/redirect an article in the first place, but it's something that might sway people one way or the other. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 08:36, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
